ssh & fsarchiver

Okay..... I got the system back up so now it is time to play!~ By play I
mean to backup that other computer using fsarchiver.
So this is the command I think I should issue:

     fsarchiver -v -z9 -s700 savefs 2012-2-21 /dev/sda1 | ssh
root at 192.168.0.4 /mnt/entertainment/clones/IBM/2012-2-21

in my eyes what this will do is use fsarchiver to save the contents of
/dev/sda1 at a 'z'ip  level of 9 (the maximum lzma compression) 's'plit
into 700 MB chunks (if I ever need to save it to CDs) and then send those
results to the directory 2012-2-21 of a laptop. Will that work (in theory)?

well, when I press enter the machine tells me that 2012-2-21 is a directory
then starts its thing. My issue is that a new file doesn't appear in
/mnt/entertainment/clones/IBM/2012-2-21 like it would with tar. Is that a
problem? Does anyone know?
